The best solar panels for farm environments

Why install solar PV on your farm?

Key benefits:

• Cost savings: Cut your farm’s electricity bill dramatically.

• Future-Proofing: Lock-in electricity prices and protect yourself from future electricity price hikes.

• Tax Benefits: Solar panels qualify for accelerated capital allowances. This is worth 12.5% of the final investment cost to companies and up to 50% for sole traders.

• Unbeatable paybacks: Expect free electricity for 30 years + with Solarwatt panels. With the addition of a TAMS grant, paybacks can be as little as two years for sole traders and 3-4 years for companies.

With the addition of a TAMS grant, paybacks can be as little as two years for sole traders and 3-4 years for companies.
